Controlling beaconing of a wireless lighting interface with a light source

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising wake-up programming, wherein execution of the wake-up programming causes a luminaire to:

• detect a plurality of light measurements above a light threshold, wherein detecting the plurality of light measurements above the light threshold comprises:
• measuring, via the light sensor, the plurality of light measurements;
• and
• based on the plurality of light measurements, identifying a sequence of excess light levels;
• determine whether the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with a pattern by:
• comparing, the sequence of excess light levels with a wake-up sequence;
• and
• determining that the comparison of the sequence of excess light levels satisfies the wake-up sequence by:
• transitioning from an idle state to a ready state which is a first ON cycle based on a first flash from the wake-up light beam that satisfies a minimum ON cycle time and a maximum ON cycle time;
• once in the ready state, waiting for a minimum timeout and a maximum timeout for a first OFF cycle;
• upon the light sensor being flashed again by the wake-up light beam, transitioning to a set state that is a second ON cycle;
• and
• upon the wake-up light beam being turned off in a second OFF cycle, transitioning to a go state, wherein the go state indicates the wake-up light beam flashed twice and off within a set time of the first and second OFF cycles;
• and
• in response to determining the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with the pattern, enter a beaconing mode, wherein to enter the beaconing mode includes to enable advertising of a wireless transceiver of the luminaire during the go state.

A luminaire, comprising:

• an illumination light source to emit illumination lighting for the space;
• a light sensor to detect light;
• a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication;
• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the light sensor, the wireless transceiver, and the memory;
• and
• wake-up programming in the memory, wherein execution of the wake-up programming by the processor causes the luminaire to:
• detect a plurality of light measurements above a light threshold, wherein detecting the plurality of light measurements above the light threshold comprises:
• measuring, via the light sensor, the plurality of light measurements;
• and
• based on the plurality of light measurements, identifying a sequence of excess light levels;
• determine whether the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with a pattern by:
• comparing, the sequence of excess light levels with a wake-up sequence;
• and
• determining that the comparison of the sequence of excess light levels satisfies the wake-up sequence by:

• and
• in response to determining the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with the pattern, enter a beaconing mode during the go state.
